Confused?
You need to QUIETLY go back into the facility. They are looking for you; the staff gets in trouble when patients wander off.

He could have called himself Ned, which is also a common nickname for Edward.

For that matter since "cruz" is Spanish for "cross," one has to wonder why he didn't go the whole nine yards and call himself Ted Cross.

Ted Kennedy's name was Edward. Ted is often a shortened name for Edward. Don't know why, just is.

Perhaps he preferred a more English sounding name than Raphael?

I say it is because it goes with Teddy Bear. You know those things Ted and Glenn handed out to the illegals down at the border.

What about Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter? Why don’t they go by their given names, why do they go by nicknames??

Is this really an important issue???
